Abstract

The molecular changes that occur in aging cells prime the organism for age-related disease. One of the changes that occur with age, extensively documented in mice, is the decline of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD +) [1]. Discovered over 100 years ago as the electron carrier for redox enzymes, and later revealed as a signaling hub, NAD + has received a surge of attention in the last decades in the aging research field [1].
